I'm afraid it's just gonna be a weaker charger.

I cannot think of a matchup in which FoH would be more useful than charge. Maybe vs barb but it still takes 100 hits to win.

If you really want to build this char, I'd recommend a different shield - akaran rondache or crown shield, depending on your dexterity. You're gonna have 103+ strength anyway.

Never heard a chargerplayer having problems vs the massive amount of fissure druids around. Foh won't help vs blizz or hdins, dno what you're talking about. The foh dmg will be so underwhelming it won't make any difference. Better to have a strong charge on a insight partizan swap vs a hammer f.e instead of a foh stick.

If you wanna try a foh build i'd go for a v/t instead.

RPG doesn’t know how to play d2, so even Smiters give time trouble.

a better build would be charge smite with a swap FOH scepter if you want to FOH really badly

but literally only benefit of FoH is it's GM to use convic aura in tvt if you are using FoH
